Yes, I know it's Saturday, my darn photos took forever to get to me before I gave up and went to bed. :-P
This week was quite sad for me. I had to say good bye to the school I have been a part of for five years. I know that doesn't sound like a very long time in the world of education, but it was my first job. I've earned my stripes with these kids, and I've known my seventh graders since they were in third grade.
 |
| My diploma FINALLY came in! I know that I graduated blahblahblah, but it's nice to hold that little piece of paper. Plus, now I don't feel guilty signing MEd after my name! |
 |
| My students were very sweet all week and brought my gifts! It was a ton of guilt tripping, but I REALLY appreciated the thought. It made me feel really loved. |
 |
| One student even brought a cake! How thoughtful was that? I shared it with the kids of course. |
 |
| The hardest part is getting all of my junk home! I've made two car trips already (I should have borrowed a truck) and I have one, maybe two left. I've already lost my spot in the garage because I can't put my stuff in my new classroom until mid July! This makes for a VERY hot car because in Phoenix, the inside of a car left outside, is only slightly cooler than the fires of hell. |
 |
| Finally, I went and got my hair cut. It's been needing to get chopped off, but I HATE doing it during school because the kids freak out! It seems that if a teacher gets a hair cut, that's all they can focus on for about a week. I'm not about to put myself through that....again. |

I know how you feel. I left my first school last year and it was definitely bittersweet. Fortunately I only lived about 5 minutes from the school because I think I crammed 4 loads into my car before I had all my junk home! Fortunately, I had last summer to go through it, organize it and part with some of it.
Good luck in your new adventure! I found you through Five for Friday! I am your newest follower :)

Three Cheers for First Grade!
